New Age Retailer
I must admit I was a bit taken aback when I received Sacred Drum Visions in the mail, as it announced the 20th anniversary of Sequoia Records. The Sequoia album Music of the Tarot was one of the very first titles I ever reviewed for New Age Retailer, and that was going on nine years ago. My, how times have changed. Thankfully, the one thing that hasn't changed at all is the Gordon brothers' ability to create wildly evocative music. Sacred Drum Visions contains seven "best of" selections from their three previous drumming titles. Sacred Earth Drums, Sacred Spirit Drums and Drum Medicine. Three new tracks, "Faithkeeper, Part 1", "Faithkeeper, Part 2", and "Light of the Canyon" also grace the album with delightful beauty.Among their many talents, the Gordons are amazing multi-instrumentalists. David plays a wide assortment of percussion, as well as piano, native flutes, and keyboards. Steve also plays percussion, in addition to acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin, and more. They both contribute vocals, loops and programming to the tracks on Sacred Drum Visions. Even though the album is drumming-based, it is perfectly suited to assisting with various healing modalities. Sacred Drum Visions offers truly gorgeous melodies and intriguing nature sounds. All together, between a variety of instruments, sounds, and tracks old and new, the Gordons have created an album of music filled with magic and heart.

All Music Guide
Sacred Drum Visions celebrates David and Steve Gordon's two decade-long career by compiling some of their best work from the '90s along with some new material. Pieces like "Sunrise Ritual (Deep Earth Mix)," "Spiritwalk," and "Return Journey" work as well in this context as they did on their original albums, proving that the Gordon's musical vision is as cohesive as it is expansive. The fluid rhythms, gentle flutes, and nature sounds that comprise their style sound as fresh and soothing as ever on new compositions like "Faithkeeper" and "Light of the Canyon," and the more subtle mix of synthesizers in their arrangements makes them sound more contemporary as well. Though this isn't a definitive retrospective of the Gordon's entire body of work, or even their '90s output, Sacred Drum Visions does trace their ever-developing sound in a few key tracks.

NAPRA Review
Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Sequoia Records, this release commemorates some of the Gordon brothers' best recordings, plus three brand new tracks. Since their first release in 1982, David and Steve have been at the forefront of New Age/ambient/world fusion, combining electronic musicality, environmental sounds, and live instruments into soothing soundscapes. Never sappy or overdone, this release (with some proceeds going to Rainforest Action Network) offers a reverential synthesis of Native flutes, panpipes, guitars, Lakota and Sanskrit chants, and percussion amidst birdcalls, wolf howls, waterfall chatter, and other ambient touches. Incorporating diverse drum rhythms and techniques, including the steady shamanic "heartbeat" drum, these ten tracks echo an older time - and create a channel to get there. This music could be classified New Age,Ambient, or Relaxation, but most selections clearly evince a Native foundation. Taken as an entire aural journey, or enjoyed track-by-track for meditative purposes, the award-winning Gordon signature style promotes relaxation and contemplation.

Awareness Magazine
The essence of soul and the evolving journey of Spirit are often very personal experiences. In our hearts we reach for the unlimited prowess of divine guidance and insight, seeking that moment of clarity that illuminates our fears and doubts. In "Sacred Drum Visions" the Gordon brothers have compiled a list of their greatest hits, put together solely to define their experiences and to gage their journey.

Percussive instruments have always related a primal, somewhat elemental instinct that resides in our consciousness. The undulating rhythms reflect the pulse and heartbeat of unseen, yet felt, realms of consciousness. Into this realm David and Steve Gordon look to share their vision quest. The music is distinctly indigenous, relying on Native American flutes, rattles and drums to establish a grounded link to Mother Earth. Expounding this connection further, the Gordon's have added nature sounds, synthesizer samples, etheric chanting, and moody, expressive flourishes of acoustic and electric guitars.

An interesting highlight of their music is the sensitivity and sensuality the Gordon brothers have instilled into it. Their hearts trembled in the haunting refrains of a Native American flute, quivering with the intensity of relating delicate moments, fragile in their own imaginations, fleeting in the transitions of the known with the unknown. This is music of feeling, vibrations of soul and Spirit allowing us into the personal worlds of David and Steve Gordon. Very interesting.

Miraculous Music
I have two very miraculous stories regarding the healing capabilities of Sacred Spirit Drums. I had been a cancer patient for 2 years and 2 months and had ordered this CD. After 3-4 days of listening to your CD, I went into remission after conventional medicine had turned its back and told me if I stopped chemotherapy I would be dead. I passed this information on to a friend that had been fighting breast cancer for a year. In a strange twist of events, she had received Sacred Spirit Drums as a gift two days later. Her metastasized cancer of the spine was reduced to so small it could not be measured. we both feel if it was not for the pure feelings and emotions portrayed and put into the gordon brothers music, we would not be here to share this revelation with you.
